Hey all,
I just want to start by broadly thanking this site and the members. I grew up around the garage and am fortunate enough to have a Midwestern background - complete with the Dad who is the go-to guy for fixing about anything - but I personally had never built anything substantial until I started my “6 Year Shed” project. I spent a ton of time, especially in the planning stages, watching your builds and stealing your ideas
When my wife and I moved ~5 years ago, we knew we wanted a property that gave us some elbow room from the neighbors and would allow me to SLOWLY put up the shop. I call it the “6 Year Shed” because a) I expect it to take 6 years and b) I keep hoping if it’s called a “shed,” maybe I’ll get the green light to build another one in year 7…
Although I’ve sent messages to many members and was on the site long before I officially joined, this is my first post so it looks like I’ll need to tell a 5-post-long-story before I can get into the build…
